So defending Michael as being the King of Pop is (rightfully, obviously) expected, but slandering Queen of Soul Aretha and calling her "overrated" is perfectly fine?
I know this is a Michael Jackson fan forum, and not an Aretha Franklin one, but come now, we gotta respect the fellow Motown greats always. And of course she could've pulled off Earth Song if she wanted to, what an odd, nonsensical question.
I know tastes are subjective, not the point. My point is that Aretha is the Queen of Soul, just as much as Michael is the King of Pop. No contest, no question.
